2022 Kia Seltos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2021 | Compared to most other small crossovers, the Kia Seltos has a much roomier rear seat. Rear legroom is a generous 38 inches. Few people will need to step up to a larger crossover unless they need to seat more than four people. The competing Mazda CX-30 (36.3 inches of rear legroom) and the related Hyundai Kona (34.6 inches of rear legroom) have more cramped and much more cramped rear seats, respectively. In fact, the Seltos has about as much room for rear seat passengers as the one-size-up Sportage. (The Sportage will no doubt grow when it is next redesigned.) The Seltos' rear seat passengers can select between two seatback angles. I found even the most upright not as upright as I would have liked, but impressions here will vary. see full Kia Seltos review |

I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

Seats are very large and not built for comfort for a thinner person. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

The rear seat leg room is too small for American sized adults. A little more room would have made this car a lot more livable when family comes to town. This may be THE reason why I upgrade to a midsize car once this car dies. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
